2016

Intern, Visual Merchandise and Window Display Team

Working alongside the team I used my knowledge of colour arrangement and
composition to design creative displays, working on window and in-store displays and gift
tables. Part of my role was visiting other stores to repeat the displays ensuring every
shop was up to date. This taught me the importance of creatively adapting, as available
stock would often vary depending on the store. Other day to day duties included general
upkeep of all 19 showrooms at the flagship store, stock management, DIY, painting and
decorating, dealing with high end clients and bespoke products. I assisted the design
team with the opening of a new store in Manchester, where I was trusted to manage and
brief staff who newly joined us on the project.
